Of course, Samudra will be more careful when dealing with Veronika. He knew what kind of woman Veronika was.
A little selfish and justifying all means to get what he wants.
And Veronika's drunken habit is still the main problem. Samudra also admitted that he was a connoisseur of all kinds of drinks with high alcohol content, but he knew the limits.
After all Samudra is a doctor and must be able to control the amount of alcohol in consuming the drink.
The ocean closed the door and locked it from the inside. He then threw his body on the soft bed.
The content of her chat with Samantha is still a burden on her mind tonight.
How dare Bryan kiss Samantha, after all what was on Samantha's mind when the other man kissed her lips? Inner Ocean upset.
Samudra confirmed it would schedule his return early. He did not care about the protest Veronika was sure to throw.
For Samudra, Samantha's business is more important.
"Damn!" samudra Gumam.

I don't know for what Samantha had in mind when she told the Ocean about Bryan's kiss.
Initially might want to make the Ocean worry? Getting angry? Or jealous? I don't know...
Maybe Samantha wants Samudra to feel all that. Like what he felt when he saw the pictures that Veronika uploaded on their social media.
"Stupid! You idiot! You idiot!" muttered Samantha while slowly hitting her head.
"Why can I be this big?" mumbling again.
What will the ocean think of him? Would she have thought that her beloved sister had turned into a Bi*tch?
"Damn!" grunts Samantha.
...----------------...
"Morning Mom.." said Samantha as soon as she got off and headed for the dinner table.
Maya smiles and receives a small kiss of Samantha on both of her cheeks.
"Morning, baby..."
"Morning, Dad...." Now it was Samantha's turn to kiss the cheek of a man about forty-three years old, but the good looks and aura of her young soul were still so obvious.
"Morning, honey..."
"Tumben Dad hasn't left for the office yet?" samantha asked as she sat down beside her father.
"It's gonna be a little afternoon for Dad to go to his office. There's something Dad wants to talk to you anyway."
Samantha frowned, not usually her father expressed this seriously.
"What's the matter, Dad?" Samantha pulled a little bit the tip of her eyebrow."
'Don't this be about the Ocean?' inner Samantha panicked.
"It's about your college later."
Samantha was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Owh, about that," Samantha took a deep breath and exhaled in relief.
"You're already in twelfth grade, Sammy, and you should be able to decide what college major you want to take. And which college you choose."
Samantha pursed hearing Samuel's talk.
"Sam.this is breakfast again, later just talk about this."
Maya returns to be Samantha's savior while being lectured by her father
"Yes, Dad. Daddy slow down, don't think too much about Sammy."
"But, Sammy..... until when will you answer the letters of some college, hm?"
"Samantha will answer, Dad, be calm."
"Where can Dad be calm if you're still acting so whimper? Or is Dad going to find you a school in London? Let Om Daniel find his recommendation, hm?!"
Samantha rubbed her eyes while plucking some jam bread from Maya.
"No, Dad....! Samantha doesn't want to go to England," said Samantha.
"Hush....! How many times have I told you it's mealtime not to talk about work or other business." Maya reminded me again.
And as always, Samuel always followed what Maya had told him. Samuel sighed softly and nodded, then went back to enjoying the food Maya had prepared for them.
Samantha now took a deep breath, feeling a little relieved by the rescue her mother had just made.
"Thanks, Mom.." said Samantha without making a sound to Maya. And in response a nod by Maya, unbeknownst to Samuel.

Veronika opened her eyes slowly, for a moment she squinted and looked around the room. The girl got up from her sleep and was still sitting limp on a soft mattress and covered in thick sheets.
Because what he remembered, last night at the club, he spent so much martini glass and a few tequila glasses. Ah Samudra will definitely scold her this morning, Inner Veronika.
The girl slowly stood up from her seat, holding her slightly throbbing forehead while stretching her neck and shoulder muscles.
Until suddenly a maid woman who was about forty years old entered Veronika's room while carrying a tray containing breakfast.
"Wake up, Nope? It's breakfast."
The maid placed the tray of food on the nightstand beside the bed and was about to leave with a slight bow towards Veronika.
"Sir, is the ocean awake?"
"Already, Non."
"Owh...." Veronika just oh-ria then grabbed a plate filled with fried rice complete with beef-eye eggs and grilled sausage.
"I'll excuse you, Non."
"Yes" nodded Veronika.
Slowly he began to eat breakfast brought by Bik Surti greedily. Suddenly this morning Veronika's stomach suddenly so hungry.
....
After breakfast and a bath to eliminate the smell of alcohol that is still so strong attached to his body, Veronika went downstairs to meet the Ocean.
Suddenly his eyes narrowed, looking at the Ocean that was already so neat this early.
"Where are you going, baby?"
The ocean turned its face towards Veronika for a moment.
"Go back to Jakarta" replied Samudra flat.
"Kok came home anyway? We've only been home here two days?" veronika Protest.
"I have business, if you still want to be here.... It's ok. Let me go home by myself."
"Keep me?"
"There is a Bik Surti that serves your needs."
"But I don't want you, baby."
The ocean let out a long sigh with Veronika's childish behavior.
"Keep what do you want? Come back to Jakarta with me, hm? Yes, let's go if you come," replied Samudra.
Veronika pursed in annoyance, stomped both feet to the floor and grunted. "What are you doing?!" sulcan Veronika was upset.
**
Veronika finally followed Samudra back to Jakarta, yes inevitably she had to come back to Jakarta.
Though originally the plan Veronika took a vacation to the villa in Bandung, so that it could be alone with Samudra without awkwardness towards the man's family. Especially with Maya.
And the biggest reason is, the pretext of Ocean who does not want to touch it as long as both are still living in the home of the old man Ocean. And Veronika so missed the gentle touch of the man, as when the two were still in Boston.
And if Veronika has to wait until they get back to Boston.... Veronika couldn't even wait that long.
Veronika dragged her wheeled suitcase with a pouting face.
"Yes, we have returned to Jakarta" Veronika said.
The ocean that was busy with the screen of his phone is now taking over the suitcase from Veronika's hand and put it in the trunk of the car.
"Are you sure you want to come to Jakarta? You can stay here first if you want."
"Make what? If there's no you?" veronika replied and with a jutek face she entered the car without having time Samudra opened the car door for her.
The ocean took a deep breath before entering towards the driver. He felt guilty for Veronika. But his longing and worry for Samantha overpowered his mind.
Samudra pressed the engine start button and immediately stepped on the gas of his shiny black SUV.

Samantha snorted and was still thinking about her father's proposal. School in London? At least it could make him forget a little about the Ocean. Stay away from the Ocean and hope to eliminate the feeling of love that is getting stronger for the older brother.
But is he capable? While the presence of Bryan did not make Samantha could just forget the sparks of romance in her chest for the Ocean.
"Huufft...!" Samantha took a deep breath, her two neutrals now rotating towards the nightstand where she displayed some of her decorative trinkets and accessories.
Netra Samantha suddenly turned to the bottle of mineral water drink given by Bryan first.
Still intact and sealed tightly, as Samantha promised, she would not open or drink the mineral water Bryan gave her. The guy who used to be Samantha's dream.
Yes, but Samantha used to really like Bryan, but now Samantha is a little hesitant about her own feelings. He did like that guy, but in Samantha's little heart. His love for Bryan was nothing more than admiration and love for his High School monkey. Or maybe he likes Bryan just to the extent of his feelings escape for Ocean? I don't know.
With the Ocean? Samantha's feelings for the man were deep, as if she wanted to belong to the Ocean completely, and vice versa. Samantha wants the Ocean to be hers, just hers. But again the strange problems always make him hurt.
Problems that are like tangled threads, want to be applied will also remain a difficult problem and there will never be a way out. Because Samudra is his brother, his own brother.
"Oh God... help me, please.." muttered Samantha.
